Nick Carter Dancing to “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” Will Make You Burst With Nostalgia

Dancing with the Stars contestant Nick Carter fulfilled all of your Backstreet Boys fantasies on last night’s episode, themed “Most Memorable Year.” Nick chose 1992 as his most memorable year because that was when he met the other members of Backstreet Boys.

McLean! Backstreet Boys until the end.
